Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee lilacs at any time. Agriculture and weather have a mind of their own, and we just do what we can to accommodate the situation! It will be a season of springtime fun!! Hop on the wagon ride and enjoy the views on a scenic nature loop, try your skill with some tomahawk throwing, visit our friends at the petting zoo, enjoy a lively hoedown or pick up an instrument and join the jug band, paint a flower vase to keep, dip your very own lilac themed candle the old fashioned way, and so much more! Our very own Jesse Cross, dance caller and music man extraordinaire, will be playing live during various times to lead any willing kids and adults through the most fun jug band hootenanny you ever did see! Walk through organic lilac groves and enjoy the sweet smells and beautiful views of the surrounding Julian area! We will have some beautifully fragrant lilac stems available for purchase once they bloom and until we run out! Potted lilacs are also available to take home and plant! This old mining town has attracted people from all over because of its rich history, old time rustic charm, and of course the pies. Back in the 1960's, the area that is surrounding Fort Cross was famous for their lilacs. It's our goal to bring that same excitement and experience back to the area! With a few acres of beautiful lilac groves, we look forward to the possibilities! Although this event is perfect for couples and families, we also welcome larger groups (Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, church groups, etc.) to join! We ask that large groups of 15 or more to please call ahead and let us know when you plan to arrive. Stay Connected on Social Media! Instagram & Twitter

Join us for our April Craftivism Class and learn about Slow fashion. Slow Fashion is the idea of reusing and remaking old clothing or materials into something new. Instead of adding to the landfills, we can remake something. Paper beads are a fun way to use old magazine paper. We will use magazine paper to make a variety of beads that can be turned into jewelry. About Craftivism Classes: From yarn bombing to femmage, the Women's Museum's Craftivism Classes invites a local artist featured in the museum's current "Crafting Feminism" exhibit to teach participants a crafting skill and how they can use it in their activism. All classes are bilingual and taught in English and Spanish Non-WMC Members: $20 WMC Members: $10 Related links: Women's Museum of California on Instagram
